I moved to openSUSE from Ubuntu because oneiric decided it wanted to look like mac os. Now that I see the screenshots of KDE, I think I'll try that desktop. I should be able to move to KDE from Gnome without much agony right? Yes, relatively new to Linux, yes, I think I should be using Linux. and no…I don't exactly know how long 4 gigs will take to download on an 8mbps connection! Left alone during non peak times I would venture to guess 30 mins or so-give or take... Wow, I’ve been wrestling with this Unity crap for so long that I thought there was nothing better than Gnome.

I think it would be between an hour and an hour and a half, assuming you max out your connection.
